  • The same people who rage against authority love moderating communities where their ideology is the only one allowed

  • i don't see those as incompatible. you can be an anarchist and very controlling over your own online space.

  • ‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 80 children reportedly killed in school bombing

  • sure. too bad for me though.

  • Americans who can vote should not complain about representatives unless they vote.

    Jump

  • it's not to the people who don't vote. you're not going to persuade them morally they have likely done a lot of thinking about their decision. voting forces you participate in American colonialism and they cannot justify that within themselves.

  • uh lol i vote. it's literally one of the first things i said. i was explaining the rationale behind some non-voters.

  • you're applying this to an internet community that has no real world interaction as a group. i think it's okay to be authoritarian on your own channel lol.

    Jump

  • Yeah but if you refuse to take the one step you have that can influence the way the country is run

    it can't lol. certainly not at the federal level. i would argue a focus on state and local if anything. the people who refuse to vote aren't refusing to do something that can affect change, they just don't want to participate in the ruse.

  • it's not about liking or not, it's about refusing to participate in the rigged system any longer. i vote but it is becoming harder and harder for me to personally justify it under technofascist oligarchial American capitalism. i empathize with those who don't vote. everyone knows our two party system is rigged, but it's not that it's merely rigged it's that it doesn't actually function or even exist. it's a one party system and we are being given the illusion of control even at the smallest scale. we have proven over and over again that voting does not result in change. there are ways to ignore the will of the people and we are masters at it here in the US.

    additionally, not voting for many is a way to reject American imperialism and global expansion. it doesn't matter if a Dem or a Rep is in office, they are going to support genocidal Israel. there's no compromise worth a human life to folks who aren't voting because of this. it's complicated but i understand it and i can accept it even. the whole "if you don't vote then it's a vote for Candidate A" is nonsensical because it could easily be applied to their opponent, Candidate B.

    not voting is itself a political act. it demands of our government to be taken seriously. for the people to be actively listened to and engaged with. our government should earn our cooperation not expect it of us. americans shouldn't be forced into the machine of corrupt democracy to act like worker drones keeping things going. go on and vote, that's your part. fulfill your role.

    some say no.

  • Project 2025 creator wants to ban gender-affirming care for trans adults

    Jump

  • literally lying in order to pass policy meant to control a population should result in harsher punishment than federal prison. there is, quite literally, zero evidence to suggest trans people are more violent than cis people. these motherfuckers know that and do not care. okay, then we need to. we can't allow this to come to fruition.

  • Anyone else having issues with YouTube?

    Jump

  • YouTube has said they're aware of several issues impacting functionality and are working on a fix. Not just you.

  • Why you're probably stroking your cat completely wrong (and how to do it right)

    Jump

  • kind of a weirdly hostile and presumptuous headline lol i read the whole thing and it's like, "don't rub the base of the tail, don't rub their tummy, don't do another commonly known thing to avoid." and it goes on to say body language will demonstrate if they are happy. ...yeah thanks. then i'm not stroking my cat completely wrong, appreciate the clickbait-designed judgement tho.

  • I feel bad for people who say "I can't" when they mean "I won't".

    Jump

  • and how are you able to determine that is happening exactly?

  • Gallup to stop tracking presidential approval ratings after 88 years

    all these motherfuckers who gave in to this fascist regime will be remembered for their cowardice.

  • i haven't been to Mexico since i was four. i don't speak Spanish. this would wreck my life!

    awww, yeah? so now that you're being directly impacted by Trump's policies they've gone too far? could this have been avoided by not supporting a fascist perhaps? hmm..
